THE ART OF CARRYING A PARASOL
Did you know even before Marie Antoinette, the parasol was considered a necessity in every woman's wardrobe to ward off the sun. By the mid-1800s when they hit their zenith in the Western World, it was at least known then that sun prematurely ages skin. A century later, we have scientific proof that exposure ages and can cause melanoma. So our grandmothers had the right idea to flaunt beautiful accessories (before sunscreen). And so evolved the parasol; at its most chic it can be an art form full of intricate treatments and applications just like hats, veils, purses, and shoes.
